The software is not open source. And believe me, the part
that interfaces with the OS is quite ugly - it is a very
thin binding to low-level system calls with register-level
arguments full of addresses and other stuff...

An early (and even uglier) version of the OS interfacing
part is however available in source:
http://www.huber-net.de/adalib.zip

The plan was always to develop a full OOish binding to
RISC OS, but it never happened due to commercial realities,
amount of free time and compiler quality.
